The plan also called for a rapid advance so the panzers could get the fuel U.S. His push was to get fuel for Dietrich, and the fuel was located Bastogne and Dinant. The reason there would have been a long and exposed flank was because Dietrich was in charge of the actual spearhead that was to take Antwerp, but he stalled because he needed to divert some of his armor to help Manteuffel, who was making a push, which created the Bulge in the first place. Yet, the main objective for the Battle was to take back the port of Antwerp, and use that to get the fuel dumps located there. This would have also provided some cover.
Plus, the Battle of the Bulge was fought in the Ardennes, a heavily forested region of Belgium and France. Yes, the tanks ran out of fuel, and yes the Allied fighters would destroy the tanks, but the Allied fighters would be using rockets, which are inaccurate.
